Alejandro Villanueva, a Pittsburgh Steeler and U.S. Army Ranger veteran who deployed three times to Afghanistan, was the only Steeler to leave the Steeler’s locker room to go to the field to show his respect for the anthem, the flag and those who have served, are serving and who have died defending the American way of life.
The rest of the team stayed in the locker room to avoid controversy.

Alejandro is my HERO because of his service for our country and he is my HERO for “standing up” for each one of us. Thank you is not enough. I will think of him and remember his selflessness and honor as I stand for our national anthem. God bless you Alejandro
